Abstract: Breeder roosters play an essential role in breeder production, and the semen quality directly affects the reproductive efficiency of breeder farms. Several bioactive substances have regulatory effects on sperm quality, oxidative damage, reproductive hormones, and related molecular networks in breeder roosters. This paper briefly describes the effects of different bioactive substances on the reproductive performance of breeder roosters and their action mechanism, in order to provide theoretical reference for a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory effect of bioactive substances on the reproductive performance of breeder roosters and their application in breeder production.

Key words: breeder roosters, semen quality, bioactive substance, action mechanism, research progress
